Project Overseer: Recall Update has just been released!

It's August, and that means that the next big version for Project Overseer is here! The Recall Update adds a ton of new features to the game, most notable of which is an automatic save system and AI companions that are activated by your voice!

With that being said, there are also a lot of bug fixes and improvements, so to view the entire list of changes, you can read the official devlog here!

The companions' voices are far from finalized, and are just placeholders made by me. If the game gets enough support, I'll look for talented voice actors to really bring them to life!

Thank you all for your support and stay tuned for the next update!
